MARJORIE ANN JONES STEFFINS

Memorial service for Marjorie Ann Jones Steffins will be held at 3:00 PM, 
Sunday, September 25, 2016 at White's Ferry Road Church of Christ, West 
Monroe. Visitation will be held from 2:00 PM until service time. 

Marjorie Ann Jones Steffins was born in Chicago, IL on March 8, 1927 and 
went to be with the Lord on September 16, 2016. Marjorie grew up in Quito, 
Ecuador, the daughter of Clarence and Katherine Jones, pioneers in 
missionary radio. She earned a nursing degree from Columbia University, New 
York City and returned to her home in Ecuador to work as a missionary nurse. 
While there, she met and fell in love with Marvin R. Steffins who was also 
working in Christian broadcasting. They married and served as missionaries 
in Costa Rica and Uruguay. Following their return to the states, they lived 
in California, Oregon, and Texas before moving to Monroe, LA in 1971. Over 
the course of those years, they had seven children and Marjorie devoted her 
life to being a beloved wife, mother, and homemaker. Mom will be remembered 
for her joyful and generous spirit and desire to serve others. She had the 
gifts of hospitality, encouragement, and unconditional love. She established 
a spiritual legacy of faithfulness and commitment to the Lord, to her 
husband of 60 years, and to her children and their families. GraMarjie, as 
her grandchildren affectionately knew her, tenderly loved each one and 
blessed their lives with playful fun, great cooking, and godly influence. 
She and Marvin partnered as prayer warriors; she loved to sing praise and 
worship with her family. Marjorie is preceded in death by her brother, Dick 
Jones; son, Marvin W. Steffins; and husband, Marvin R. Steffins.

She is survived by six children, numerous grandchildren and a growing number 
of great grandchildren. Cherishing her memory are: Daughter Kathy and Dennis 
Davenport; Stefanie and Bryan Rodgers, Kaitlin and Britton Burton. Daughter-
in-law Betsy Steffins; Donnie, Robyn, Paul, Shawn; Richard and Tracy 
Steffins. Daughter Beth VanZandt, Ryan and Katelyn, Chris and Kristin, Erin, 
and Chase. Son Jon and Cheryl Steffins; Amanda and Chris Lee, Rebecca and 
Lucas Gibbs, Sara, and Jonathan. Daughter Jenny Remsberg and Baba Rathore, 
Victoria and Jonathan Worley, Benton, Olivia, and Nathaniel. Daughter 
Marianne and Dan Sidders, Austin and Kerstin, Danielle and Tyler Holloway, 
Peyton, and Caroline. Son Daniel and Andrea Steffins, Victoria, Katheryn, 
Alexandra, and Caroline. She is also survived by two sisters, Marian Clark 
and Nancy Farley, and a sister-in-law, Jean Kee and numerous nieces and 
nephews.

We will forever be grateful to our dear sister, Marianne, for the tender 
care she gave mom the last months of her life. You are an angel to us! We 
also wish to thank Jennia Adams, Janice Seegers, and Temika Williams, 
caregivers from Louisiana Hospice and Palliative Care.

Her children rise up and call her blessed. Proverbs 31:28
